| what makes you think to score an anime of 4 below. I've seen a lot of users are cheap to score some good anime and it makes me wonder why they score anime/manga like that. |

| 5 supposedly means as "average" in MAL. Everyone ideally rate half of anime with or below 5. |

| My opinion on the matter is that it depends on the person and their personal taste. "Good" is relative, especially for anime/manga which is art, in a sense. For the sake of the matter, I score forgettable & bad series below 5. If a widely known anime/manga with high score is not my cup of tea, I don't hesitate to put a low score. |

| It's based on their own scoring system. You can't force them to change their score in a specific anime because it's from their own opinions and thoughts. And yes I rated an anime below 5, for the reason that the anime was very generic, boring, and doesn't have any development. |

| Yes, I rate a lot of anime that low. If you don't rate anime that low then 5 is effectively your 1. You might as well use the full scale and set what anime you think are truly the worst of the worst instead of giving things like Mars of Destruction and Guilty Crown the same score of 5. A world where 50% of anime are worse than Mars of Destruction would be a scary one to live in. |

| Yes, I do. I even rate a few shows 1/10. In actuality, no show really deserves 1/10. I mean, a show might be horrible, but the creators have at least put effort into it. Take Otome Dori for an example. In terms of production, it probably doesn't deserve a 1/10. But since I absolutely hated watching it, I gave it a rating of 1/10. In the end, it depends on the rating system of a viewer. |
| Yes and half of them come from seasonals |
   |
| I rate stuff below 4 which are bad in my opinion or I didn't enjoy them. |
 |
| How should I rate the bad anime otherwise? With a 7? LMAO |
| It is a problem everywhere. 7 is the default "It was good" rating. In actuality, that's what a 5 is for. Thus, I aim to make that my average. Not because I want to be super critical of anime and not enjoy it, but because I know what I think makes for a good film. I know what touches me emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, etc. If something falls short, I will go below, plain and simple. It seems harsh, but a 4 on my rating scale doesn't mean it's bad and that I wouldn't recommend it. It just isn't going to be something I'm thinking about a whole lot. I also want to point out that if you are someone who really thinks through what they love and is reluctant to hand out 8's, 9's, and 10's, then you'll probably get more out of the stuff you watch. |

| 5/10 = 50% = F at my school so I haven't rated anything under a 5 before since that means it's a complete failure :/ but then again maybe I just haven't seen enough bad anime so idk |

| What I'm interested in is why some people rate a show 1 because they don't like the MC's personality or the premise of the show. |

Thread title: Do you rate some anime a score of 4 below? Yes. I've started using 4s and under because I remembered that the stupid Pokémon movie with Hoopa in it existed and I discovered AnoHana. I'd say those are the two anime that made me realize that I could even find anime that I didn't really like very much, and every now and then I end up finding another one that goes into the pile of low-score anime. I'm sure Guilty Crown would have counted as another anime that made me learn that there are anime out there that definitely aren't for me, but I dropped that one long ago, so I dunno. To the forum regulars who know me for my opinion on these anime: yes, I really hate these two anime that much. |

| If an anime sucks it's gonna get rated low. What's so weird about that that it needs explanation? |

To the topic, yes I do rate anime lower than 4. It's usually if the anime is too generic, not enjoyable for me or too bad in general. |

| Gintoki and Sugita's birthdays are 1 day apart. |
| I'm quite generous with my ratings since I appreciate the work artists, directors and voice actors put into producing an anime, so I have very few anime rated at 4... You must really piss me off if you want to get a rating of 4 from me (looking at you SAO and Tokyo Ghoul) |
 |
| I usually don't stick around long with an anime if I'm not having fun with it so I don't have many things rated below 6, but I give many manga 4s and for me it's just a 'below average' score, not necessarily a bad one, but I guess most people use it exclusively for stuff they think is bad. The really bad stuff stands at 1~3. |

| since that is almost like half of the scale |
  |
| I didn't rate anything on MAL, but on anime-planet the lowest anime I rated has a score 2,5/5. |

Playay said: 10 Masterpiece 9 Great 8 Very Good 7 Good 6 Fine 5 Average 4 Bad 3 Very Bad 2 Horrible 1 Appalling Yeah i used them the same way MAL use it, and there's no way i didn't find bad shows so yes i do rate 4 and below. Can't say anything else. Thumbs up. :) |
~ I have ashamed of you ~  |
| I'd say I would be generous to never score anything below 7 (which is like, a franchise achieving a good impression from start to finish but it isn't that memorable), but there are just some shows/manga who frustrate the living shit out of me it deserves 4 and below. |
 |
| Imagine having the ability to separate shows you like in ten different categories. At some point, I enjoyed each show I finished, even from 1s to 5s. Not rating things below 5-6 just means that you actually use five-score system. |
 |
| I score anime based on my own personal enjoyment of a series and as such for me to rate a series at a 4 or lower score means i simply didn't enjoy it for various reasons (plot, characters, etc). Using the 10 point grading system in full allows me to better reflect how much i enjoyed 1 series in relation to another series. |

| Yes I do. Well hardly ever but sometimes the anime is just bad and doesn't deserve a better score |
| Go check out my latest review: https://myanimelist.net/profile/YeeYeeAss/reviews |
| "Do you rate some anime a score of 4 below?" Yes. "what makes you think to score an anime of 4 below" Obviously I think that said shows deserve such score. "I've seen a lot of users are cheap to score some good anime" There's the thing - they don't consider said anime being good. |
| It's a bit stupid really. I can't understand why anyone would score below a 4. If it was that bad for you, stop watching it. And if you haven't completed it, don't score it. Imo people who score 1-3 are being petty and disingenuous. If the reviews are anything to go by, 99% of people who score that badly are because they have unrealistic expectations - ie. watching an ecchi title and complaining there's too much fan service. |
| for me 5 is low average (the anime is boring, bad and it annoys me) and 6 is above average (it has something cool but overall is decent). if I see anime worse than 5 I see no problem rating them 2, 3 or 4 (the three levels of garbage is how I call this 3 scores), some examples: sac 2045 araburu kisetsu no otome domo yo ni no kuni and many more... |

alshu said: How about if you think certain show is really stupid or ugly or both but still very enjoyable? If you’re getting some enjoyment out of it, then you shouldn’t be scoring below a 4. alshu said: Why? You have an opinion about it based on the episodes watched.

The OP asked for opinions. alshu said: MAL's reviews are trash written by haters and trolls. Don't pay attention to them. On this we agree. MAL could easily improve these by restricting reviews to only complete series and introducing member reputation. |
| Yeah, though actually finishing something I rate that low is pretty rare: 10. Masterpiece 9. Excellent 8. Very Good 7. Good 6. Decent, averagely entertaining 5. Average part II: The so-so, not really good but not a total waste either stuff 4. Weak, at some point it had potential and was interesting but it blew it 3. Bad, actively repellent and not enjoyable 2. Awful, sickening and an offense to modern decency 1. Worst Ever, completely irredeemable trash, kill it with fire |

It may be surprising to you but you can know perfectly well that you are watching total garbage and in the same time to find it highly entertaining with its horribleness. There are entire shows dedicated to the art of enjoying really bad movies, like: https://www.twitch.tv/mst3k or https://www.twitch.tv/rifftrax Nobody stops you from ignoring it. Nobody stops you from ignoring opinions based on completed shows. Personally I want to have a record which shows I have dropped at which personal scores. This is information which is important to me. K-Lye said: MAL could easily improve these by restricting reviews to only complete series and introducing member reputation. Not gonna happen because: - People will search for reviews on incomplete series anyway...also how about shows like One Piece, Detective Conan, Boruto, Black Clover... - Reputation based on what? No matter which system they use it could be abused easily. |

Sorry but no dice. Whether it’s bad or not doesn’t change the fact if you’re getting some enjoyment out of it then you should not be rating below a 4. alshu said: Nobody stops you from ignoring it. Nobody stops you from ignoring opinions based on completed shows. Personally I want to have a record which shows I have dropped at which personal scores. This is information which is important to me. I do but that makes a mockery of the rating something so it’s missing the point. It’s reasons like this that MAL ratings are generally considered to be inaccurate and misrepresentative. alshu said: Not gonna happen because: - People will search for reviews on incomplete series anyway...also how about shows like One Piece, Detective Conan, Boruto, Black Clover... - Reputation based on what? No matter which system they use it could be abused easily. There are ways to handle long-running seasons. Picking out exceptions doesn’t change the principal that overall it would improve the current misused system. True, no system is perfect but something is better than what’s in place currently which has basically no regulation at all. |
| If I score an anime with a 4 or lower its because it wasn't enjoyable. And from 1 to 4 there's a big spectrum between being horrible and watchable. |
 |
| Yes.I use the full scale.I use the rating system the way it's meant to be used. |
